<h1>Rules</h1>

<h2>How do I register ?</h2>

<p>First, you need to subscribe from the ingame browser by clicking on the subscribe 
link in the menu. After typing a password, you will have access to the "post match" link.</p>

<p>If the ingame browser do not ask you to trust the page, please check the URL. Right
after the site name (http://eveladder.something.com) it must be a /.</p>

<h2>What is a duel ?</h2>

<p>A duel is a consensual fight between two people, with matched, 
usually deadly weapons in accordance with rules explicitly or implicitly 
agreed upon, over a point of honor, usually accompanied by trusted 
representatives (who do not fight !).</p>

<h2>Matched, deadly weapons ?!</h2>

<p>Fights are with T1 frigates, fitted with T1 stuff, no nammed, no officer, no faction.</p>

<p>You do not need a warp disruptor or warp scrambler as if your opponent warp out, he loose
the challenge. But see the "Validation / Refusal / Killmail / Proof / etc..." paragraph below.</p> 

<h2>How do I post a victory ?</h2>

<p>Click on the "post victory" link and select the player you challenged. He must already 
been subscribed. If he is not subscribed, then you cannot challenge him.</p>

<h2>My victory is not accounted ! WTF ?! *whine*</h2>

<p>After posting your victory, your opponent need to validate it. He must connect to the
web site and click on the green button on his homepage. The points are now accounted
correctly.</p>

<h2>Validation / Refusal / Killmail / Proof / etc...</h2>

<p>If you win a challenge and you do not post a valid killmail. Your opponent can refuse
the challenge and you will have no proof you won this. So do not forget your killmail !</p>

<p>But if your opponent warped out, then you will be fucked because you have no killmail.
The best way to avoid this is to bring a representative with you so he will be able to 
tell the trust. If you have no representative then... fit a warp disruptor or scrambler.</p>

<p>If you refuse a challenge and the killmail is valid, the challenge will be validated... 
and if the admin is pretty busy and in a bad mood, he will probably 
kick some of your points back in hell.</p>

<p>DO NOT MESS WITH THE ADMIN ! He's angry, drunk and he has guns...<?php echo image_tag('/web/images/emoticon_wink.png') ?></p>

<h2>Ranking calculation</h2>

<p>Everybody start with 1499 points.</p>

<p>The ranking is calculated with a Elo algorithm. To resume this : the less chance you
have to win a match (opponent with more points), the more points you will gain.</p>
